Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause. The game is set on the other side of the world from the original Just Cause, on the fictional island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Panau has varied terrain, ranging from desert to alpine to rainforest. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront his former mentor, Tom Sheldon.

Just Cause 2 performance is strong across the board with a slight improvement over the reference R9 290X 4GB. Against the NVIDIA offerings, you can see the MSI R9 290X 4GB Twin Frozr Gaming OC manages to come out ahead at all resolutions.
